I'm proposing to build a new multi-band HF antenna. Previously I used simple
relatively low (8mtr) dipole (28mtr total length) feed with ladder line and
matched with a Z-Match tuner. Worked ok, but was useless for DX.
My proposed antenna is to be vertical (7mtr radiator) to be used on bands
from 10mtr to 30mtr.
I have heard that vertical antennas are more susceptible to noise!

I'm keen to hear this groups view on the noise issue and generally how
verticals are regarded as a DX antenna. Also keen to hear of personal
experiences with vertical antennas on HF.

I'm thinking of getting one of these for the roof:
